He holds that library life has always been affected by technology, suggesting that we are not in a transformational time but at an important point in the evolution of libraries. He also examines reading in the digital world and the nature of the Web, library work and the future of libraries (focusing on reference and cataloging), and two ailments of modern living--information overload and stress.
